which do you prefer to live in, in a city or away from the city well i guess living in the city is so hard, you need to work hard to be able to live in the city while in the place far from noise and polluted city you don't need to work hard just have a work then you can live, one thing that i like from the place far from the city is the clean air and cold temperature how about you which one do you prefer?

I preffer away from the city. I just want to live quietly and away from those noisy buses and fumes of those cars all the time. Although living in the city have lots of advantages too but sometimes living outside the city gives you somewhat a peace of mind. Well at least thats what im feeling whenever im on a vacation lol . But seriously speaking if you will be able to afford it its better if you purchase or invest your money and build your home outside the city.

Well you got a point there eventhough you dont like it in the city you just have to be there because thats your original place i mean where you really live. But if you just happen to have a choice im pretty sure you would want to be outside the city too. To feel the fresh air all the time and get rid of those noisy surroundings, its more like a different place to live in. Have a great day and happy mylotting!

If you want to live in an area with clean air and cold temperature, but not too far from the city (this is important especially if you have a job or business located in the city), there is a place called "suburbs" or "suburban". What is a suburb? Here's a short definition from answers.com: 1. A usually residential area or community outlying a city. 2. The usually residential region around a major city; the environs. With suburb, you will not live inside a busy, noisy and polluted city, but you can easily access the city. It is an ideal place to live especially if you work on the city but love living in a place with less noise, pollution and cooler temperature.

I definately prefer the country!!!! I enjoy gardening and flower gardening. To be able to take a few steps and have dinner at my finger tips is my idea of life. People and gossip are not my style.

A city, a nice place to visit but not a good place to live in. I prefer to live far from a city.

I prefer living in a city because you don't have to travel so much to do everything. I live in a small city now and I can get to stores, school, work, doctors offices, etc. in less than ten minutes if the traffic is good. Living out in the country would get boring for me.

I prefer to live in the countryside or by the seaside. I don't like to live in a busy and noisy city. The green landscape around a village has peace and quiet. The seaside has lovely sea views. The cities have high rise buildings and people everywhere. I live on the edge of a coastal town. Sadly I will have to move because my disabled son is getting too heavy for me to carry upstairs. I need to live in a house with a downstairs bedroom and bathroom for him.

Having home inside the city limits has advantages and also disadvantages. Advantages means good schools and shopping mall near by the home. Frequent bus facility and safety.But has disadvantages like pollution is the sense of air and noise also the cost of living.

i really don't know why pollution is the main problem in the city, supposedly the government should act about this, like in the city in other country eventhough they live in the city they still have fresh air, it is just discipline to bus operator and other motorist

I live in a rural area and I love it! I enjoy living out of the city limits. There's more room to breathe and life doesn't feel so congested.

I used to live in a very small town and I loved it. Things are cheap there so I can save more money. However, what I didn't like about it is the lacking of entertainment. I was bored as hell especially because I had no friends.

thats the negative aspect of living in a rural areas or small towns lack of commercial establishment and entertainment spot, i think people from the city who will stay in rural areas for long will get bored because that person will surely miss the city life

Well living away from the city that is far from noise and pollution is really relaxing. But if I'l stay in that place, that would surely be for a vacation only. I still prefer to live in the city where everything you need is just around. Besides, I've already used to stay in the city coz this is where I grew up.

Personally I prefer away from the city. You pretty much explained why I prefer being away from the city. Its because all the hard work someone has to put in to be living in a city. Also, there is a lot of noise that goes around there and its always busy, busy, busy. Lastly, I'm really not much of a city person anyway it would be very hard if I tried. -Rezz

I used to live far away from the city almost 11kms away to be exact. When I was a student, I hate being so far away from the city because I always need to go home early because PUV is only til 10pm, after 10pm no more vehicle so I always afraid to get late in going home. That's why I often felt sad and left alone when I often rejected my classmates' invitation to hang out. But now that Im working in a big city, I always get excited in going home for vacation, those atmosphere in the province is different, those peaceful nights and those birds and chicken waking me up early in the morning are just so lovely and priceless. So yeah I still love and prefer living away from the city.

yeah i know what you meant, that thing is also what i want best in the city, specially the night life, unlike in the place far from the city when the clock ticks to 7 pm almost all the people is already sleeping unlike here in Makati City 24/7 you can have a place to go to

When it comes to money matter,City is preferable but for life a few days away from city is all welcome.See,when we get bored with the nagging of the same daily schedule staying in a city,we'd like to go for a vacation out of the city that demands nothing out of us-not the maintainence of a high profile,etc.It's good to be out of the city because you can embrace life there.

yes i guess for money city is the most appropriate place to live in but because of this idea many people from province is going here but what happen to them is that they resulted to be an informal settlers and cause population problem in the city

Away from city. City is the manifestation of the society's irresponsibility. Great buildings remind me more of corruption than engineers. City suffocates me with pollution and unlikely people.

not all the time the city represents as the societies irresponsibilities, you see city also shows the progress of a certain place, yes pollution and noise is the main problem, but in the city many opportunities can also be obtain

I prefer in a city that is not that developed and has lot's of trees because life isn't too complicated living in there and it's not that polluted. Example is the cities here in Ilocos regions
